Yup. Funny thing tho is that I've read a ton of stuff that Rose wrote, but none of what her mother did. Now you've motivated me to examine from whence Rose arose. I would appreciate any suggestions about where to start.
The reading list ever grows exponentially larger!!
Laura Ingalls wrote a book series for children based on her life growing up in a pioneer family from Wisconsin that chronicled their moves westward. I read the whole series in 5th grade. It begins with Little House in the Big Woods. I still enjoy them. The tv series based on the books wasn’t nearly as good as the books.
"The tv series based on the books wasn’t nearly as good as the books."
That does not surprise me a bit. As for TV, I've never owned one and wouldn't have one in the house if it were handed to me. I recommend that everyone unplug theirs and send 'em to the nearest recycle center ASAP. Same with radios, "moo-vees" and nearly everything written since ~1950 or so, this fine site and some few others excepting.
What are the lessons that LIW is promoting with her books? She sure raised a fine daughter as near as I can tell. I also recommend that people read RWL for her views on liberty.
I’m sure you already know but Rose Wilder Lane is the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder of the Little House on the Prairie book series fame.
